Embodiment Construction

[0038]Reference will be made to the drawing figures to describe the present invention in detail, wherein depicted elements are not necessarily shown to scale and wherein like or similar elements are designated by same or similar reference numeral through the several views and same or similar terminology.

[0039]Within the following description, a standard USB connector, receptacle, plug, and signaling all refer to the USB architecture described within the Universal Serial Bus Specification, 2.0 Final Draft Revision, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. USB is a cable bus that supports data exchange between a host and a wide range of simultaneously accessible peripherals. The bus allows peripherals to be attached, configured, used, and detached while the host and other peripherals are in operation. This is referred to as hot plug.

[0040]Referring to FIGS. 1A-6, an electrical connector 100 is preferably a receptacle mounted on a mother PCB 101 and is compatible to USB 2.0 pr...

Abstract

An electrical connector includes an housing having a base portion, a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base portion and a number of passageways, the tongue portion defining a front face, a first side face and a second side face; a metal shell enclosing the tongue portion to define a receiving room therebetween, and defines a top wall, bottom wall and a pair of side walls, a first receiving room being formed between the bottom wall and the first side face; a number of contacts received in the passageways respectively and including a plurality of first contacts and second contacts, the first contacts each defining a first contacting portion, a first soldering portion and a first retaining portion, the second contacts each defining a second contacting portion, a second soldering portion and a second retaining portion. Both the second contacting portions and the first contacting portions are positioned on a same side of the second side face to be exposed to the first receiving room, the first contacting portions extend beyond the first side face.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to electrical connectors, more particularly to electrical connectors with additional contacts.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]In information technology, Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to interface devices. USB can connect computer peripherals such as computer mouse, keyboards, PDAs, gamepads and joysticks, scanners, digital cameras, printers, personal media players, and flash drives. For many of those devices, USB has become the standard connection method.[0005]The design of USB is standardized by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), an industry standards body incorporating leading companies from the computer and electronics industries. As of 2006, the USB specification was at version 2.0 (with revisions). The USB 2.0 specification was released in April 2000 and was standardized by the USB-IF at the end of 2001. The USB 2.0 specification is available from websi...
